Word origin

The word 'poodle' comes from the German 'Pudel' or 'Pudelhund,' meaning 'splashing dog,' which reflects their history as water retrievers. Poodles have a rich history that dates back to at least the 15th century, originally bred in Germany as water retrievers. They were used by hunters for retrieving game from the water and were valued for their ability to swim well. Over time, the breed gained popularity in France, where they were further refined into the sophisticated and intelligent dogs we know today. The poodle's iconic coat has led it to be associated with dog shows, grooming competitions, and even performance art in circuses. Today, poodles are beloved both as pets and as show dogs, recognized for their versatility and charm.
